Ah, good friends! That time has come once again, and we must celebrate the birth of many sweet video games throughout this (again) extremely cursed year. We’ve been lucky enough to enjoy a lot of fun entertainment this year; such gorgeous toys to keep us busy while other things totally go down the toilet. Yes, let’s raise a glass together Advent Calendar RPS 2021!
Here’s what’s happening: every day from December 1 to December 24, we reveal a PC game from 2021 that we think is the big cat’s fluff pajamas. Every game has a post unto itself, where one or more RPS writers explain why it’s so good. This year includes some of our most frequent freelancers. It’s lovely isn’t it? Found family, and all that. The games were revealed in no particular order, except for the one revealed on Christmas Eve, the 24th. That game was our Best Game of the Year, our GOTY, good game. among the best games of 2021.
This year, we invited Nate Crowley to do another Christmas calendar photo for us, which has a rather menacing aura. Here you can see Horace The Endless Bear (give him praise) nestled in a pile of Christmas presents. He is overseeing the Alabastar Titan, a feature of EWS Podcasts, as Tites generate more gifts on a powerful anvil. Behind them you can see both a festive Christmas tree and, eh, a festive haunted Christmas train. Maybe all of this is going on in a decommissioned, Death Stranding-type nuclear bunker. Who can say?
You can access the post each day by clicking the right door below when it opens, which will be at 1pm every day, around lunchtime. If for some reason the image links are not working (for example, you are browsing on a mobile device), scroll below to find a set of normal text links. Enjoy!
Therefore, the rules for our scheduled voting are:
Any game released in 2021 is eligible for inclusion, which also includes early access released games that have a full release this year after the early access period. We’re fickle, so it’s also possible to look at games with big energy in 2021, such as the indie games that received a lot of interest this year, or games with great DLC. . We’ll also take a look at the December games that were still unreleased at the time of voting, which is why Cyberpunk cried out last year.
Each member of the RPS team gets 10 points to vote and can put as many points into a game as they like, including giving a game a full 10. There is a large amount of tactical points being reshuffled until the final voting moments. After that, there was some discussion among the editors about the binding case, and Katharine also has the right to move some things around for the right reasons, just because neither of us can really. prevent her.
We do the calendar almost every year, including 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and two thousand and thirteen. In 2014 we did RPS . best tests is exactly the same, only it’s not calendar-based. This is clearly inferior, and so return schedule in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and Year 2020. That makes this the fifteenth birth of the RPS, if you count the oddities in 2008 and 2014.
